LETTER 



Department of the Interior, 

Bureau of Education, 

Washington, D. (7., October 11, 1873. 
Sir : The following pages complete the material collected by this Of- 
fice respecting the college-commencements in the United States during 
the summer of 1873. A previous Circular of Information, printed by 
your order, contained similar statements respecting the commencements 
occurring in the northeastern section of the country. 

A summary of the degrees conferred, and fhe amount of donations 
and bequests received by the institutions mentioned in the previous cir- 
cular alluded to, and in these pages, will be found at the close of this 
pamphlet. 

I have the honor to recommend that the material herewith presented 
be published as a Circular of Information, and am, sir, 
Yery respectfully, your obedient servant, 

CHAELES WAEEES", 



Hon. Columbus Delano, 

Secretary of the Interior. 



Acting Commissioner. 



Approved and printing ordered. 



W. H. SMITH, 

Acting Secretary of the Interior.

DELAWARE. 



The commencement of this pleasantly situated college occurred on 
Wednesday, June 18, when, after what are represented as very cred- 
itable oratorio exercises, the degree of Ph. B. was conferred on the 
graduating class of 3. No honorary degrees are reported. 

In his advice to the graduates, President Purnell urged them to treat 
respectfully all persons with whom they might have to do, especially 
those who might differ from them in opinion. " In all parties, in all asso- 
ciations, secular and religious, there is always both the good and the 
bad ; the good is not confined to any one party, nor true religion to any 
one church. There is a patriotism that is above all party, and a religion 
that is above all church." 

The trustees, at the meeting in commencement-week, resolved to 
open the college to females as well as males. 



WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE, WILMINGTON. 

This institution, established as " The- Wesleyan Eemale Seminary " in 
1837, incorporated as " The Wesleyan Female Collegiate Institute " in 
1841, and finally chartered as " The Wesleyan Female College " in 1855, 
held its commencement-exercises on Thursday, June 19, when a class of 
6 graduated. Of these, 1, who had completed the classical course, re- 
ceived the degree of A. B., (Artium Baccalaurea,) the other 5 that of 
A. L. M., (Anglicanum Liter arum Magistra.) 

President Wilson, before the presentation of the diplomas, made a 
brief address to the audience, urging parents and others interested in 
the pupils attending this or any school to encourage pupils to stead- 
fastness and promptitude in the performance of their school-duties. He 
complained that the pupils from the city were allowed by their parents 
to stay away from school too frequently, to enable them to participate 
in social pleasures, which, however innocent and desirable, tended to 
seriously divert the attention of pupils from their studies. He com- 
plained likewise of the frequency with which parents at a distance either 
called their daughters home for visits or permitted them to go, and de- 
clared that the effect of these visits was not merely to divert their minds 
from studies, but to make them less contented after return to school. 
He said none were more contented and none made more satisfactory 
progress than those who steadily remained at school. He assured par- 

307 



22 

ents that they need not be afraid of their daughters injuring their 
health by over-study. Study was wholesome rather than otherwise, and 
if any broke clown under it, it was from violations of the laws of health, 
which would produce evil results anywhere. Turning to the audience 
he said : " Those abominable boxes you send your daughters, out of which 
they eat sweetmeats as they go to bed, giving them headaches next day, 
do them more harm than hard study."

MARYLAND. 



ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, ANNAPOLIS, 

Located at the capital of Maryland, this now venerable college has 
special facilities for securing the kind notice of the legislature, and 
seems hence to have come into somewhat the position of the State 
universities of the West and South. 
■ Commencement, last Wednesday in July. 

DEGREES. 

In course, A. B., 8 5 A. M., 1. Honorary, D. D. : Professor J. M. 
Dashiell, of the college — 1 ; LL. D. : Dr. Mnian Pinkney, U. S. N. — 1. 

BENEFACTIONS. 

Erom the State, $2,500 for the purchase of chemicals and philosoph- 
ical apparatus.* 

LIBRARY. 

Increase for the year about 2,500 volumes, mainly by purchase, the 
legislature having appropriated, in the preceding year, $5,000 for this 
purpose. 

NEW BUILDING. 

About $5,000 have been raised by subscription toward the erection 
of a new hall for commencement-exercises and assemblies, which, it is 
hoped, will be soon under way. 

NEW PROFESSOR. 

In place of Professor White, who has retired from the chair of mathe- 
matics, Professor Johnson has been appointed. 



WESTEEN MAEYLAND COLLEGE, WESTMINSTEE, 

The peculiar feature of this college, unusual at the East, is the co- 
education of the sexes. This is not, however, quite as complete as in 

*This account is from an officer of the college. But the report of the State Board of 
Education indicates, besides, " a regular grant of $3,000 a year," a " special grant of 
$12,000 a year for six years" from 1871, and "an additional appropriation of $10,000 a 
year for six years to furnish hoard, fuel, lights, and washing for two free students in the 
collegiate course for each senatorial district of the State," such students being required 
to give bond that they will teach school within the State for not less than two years 
after leaving college.

some parts of the West. Both sexes have the same instructors, but do 
not recite together, meeting only in chapel-services and at the meals in 
the dining-hall, where the professors are also present. The ladies' 
course is also shorter by a year than that arranged for gentlemen. The 
results of this system are said to be " eminently satisfactory." 

DEGREES IN COURSE. 

At the commencement, Thursday, June 19, after the usual class- day 
and oratoric exercises, the graduating class, composed of five gentlemen 
and four ladies, received the following degrees in course : A. B., 9. 

HONORARY DEGREES. 

Ph. D. : Eev. J: W. Eeese, one of the professors in the college, now 
absent on a tour in Europe — 1 ; D. D. : names not given — 2. 



DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 



COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON. 

The Columbian, until recently a college, has received from Congress 
the charter of a university, and has its Schools of Medicine and Law 
within the city, the Classical and Theological remaining still upon the 
northern heights. 

The commencement on June 25 attracted a large audience to Lin- 
coln Hall, where the exercises took place. After the customary orations 
from the graduating class, diplomas were given for the following : 

DEGREES IN COURSE. 

L. B., 1 ; Sc. B., 4 ; A. B., 2 ; A. M., 1 ; together with numerous 
prizes and diplomas for proficiency in special lines of study. 

At the commencement of the Medical School, 10 graduates had re. 
ceived the degree of M. D. ; and at the Law School, June 11, 41 that of 
LL. B. 

HONORARY DEGREES. 

The honorary A. M. was conferred on Mr. W. H. Kable, of West Vir- 
ginia — 1 ; that of D. D. on the Rev. T. W. Sydnor, of Virginia — 1 ; that 
of LL. D. on the Rt. Rev. William Pinckney, D. D., assistant bishop of 
Maryland ; John C. Kennedy, esq., of Washington, and the Hon. William 
A. Richardson, Secretary of the Treasury — 3. 

CONDITION AND PROSPECTS. 

The institution is reported to be in an unusually prosperous condition, 
its finances much improved, and its prospects for the future brightening. 
Mr. W. W. Corcoran, of Washington, has pledged it a domain worth at 
least $200,000, on condition that $100,000 more be raised before January 
1, 1875, and a fair beginning has been made in the securing of this sum. 

NOTABLE WORDS. 

President Welling, in his address to the graduates on conferring the 
degrees, gave them these wise words of counsel : 

" This day you join the public brotherhood of scholars. It has been 
said that 'the priesthood of learning is the only surviving caste of mod- 
ern times.' All other nobility survives more in name than in power, and 
it is certain that if you have purchased to yourselves any good degree 
in the mysteries of this high-priesthood, you have also assumed the 
vows of a pre-eminent service in the cause of God and humanity. And 
it adds to your responsibilities that you are called to take these vows 

311 



26 

iu a day of intellectual giddiness and revolt, when many run to and fro 
throughout the land, crying 'Lo! here,', and 'Lo! there,' as they give 
heed to seducing spirits. 

" There are those who will tell you that a special misery has fallen on 
the men of our times; that faith has grown bankrupt, and that positive 
science has been left to administer on her estate and take an inventory 
of her assets; that the old ideals of manhood no longer nurse a brood 
of heroes ; that doubt has stormed in upon the souls of men through 
every nook and cranny, until the present age, as it stands shivering be- 
tween the old creeds unrealized and the new creeds unconfirmed, maybe 
likened to another Hamlet, as Shakespeare has drawn him — 'Born to 
duties greater than it can perform, and haunted by thoughts which per- 
plex and overpower it.' 

" Let none of these complainings move you. There is no temptation 
likely to befall you which has not befallen the saints and sages who 
lived before you. ' Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which 
is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you,' ex- 
claimed St. Peter, as he stood in the ' imminent deadly breach ' of the 
battle that was opening in his day between Christianity and heathen- 
ism. That was a trying time when St. Augustine, as he surveyed the 
wide wreck of the Eoman empire, was called to justify the ways of eter- 
nal Providence amid the desolations of returning barbarism in Europe, 
when all the flowers of culture and art had been laid low under the 
relentless scythes of the Goth and Vandal. Men's hearts failed them 
for fear of the things that were to come on the earth when the feudal 
system perished under the throes and convulsions which preceded the 
birth of a new social order. And yet in these valleys of Achor a door 
of hope was opened for all time to the coming generations of men. 

" You have so learned the philosophy of history as to draw from it 
lessons of comfort and not of despair. Every age is called to fight its 
own life-battle, and you have been clothed with the panoply of the 
schools that you may enter the combat with weapons of more ethereal 
mold and celestial temper than ever were wielded by knight or pala- 
din in the days of old romance. You are, indeed, to prove all things, 
but, in doing so, be sure that you hold fast what is good. The truth 
which has been weighed in the balances of the sanctuary and not found 
wanting, is truth for the eternal years. The fine gold on which the 
blessed and only Potentate has stamped His image and superscription, 
you may not sell to be melted down and coined anew by any pretender 
to His throne, whether the pretender come in the name of a new philoso- 
phy, falsely so called, or cloak himself in the cast-off garments of the 
old Gnosticism. 

" Think not that in thus warning you against the arrogant sciolism 

of our times I would have you do dishonor to the genius of the age in 

which you live. The present time shall seem to you the best time that 

has ever dawned on the world, if only you can rightly divide its good 

312 



27 

from its evil. To despise and revile our age is to commit treason against 
the Providence who rules our human history, and who appoints to us 
the bounds of our habitation. But do not for any mess of pottage sell 
your birthright in that great patrimony of the past ages, into the pos- 
session of which, as scholars, as thinkers, and as Christians, you are 
permitted to enter. Let others, if they will, break down the holy shrines 
cemented by the blood of martyrs,' and rear crumbling altars to some 
Protean god of modern discovery. Let others, if they will, seal up in their 
breasts, at the bidding of a low-browed materialism, those springs of 
thought and feeling which start from ' God, who is our home.' The 
beautiful in literature shall ever speak to you of the First Fair and 
First Good which Plato loved, and day by day you will joyfully dip your 
urns into those perennial fountains which the choice and master spirits 
of all time have opened along the dusty highways of our daily life. To 
these fountains, gushing from the souls of poets and philosophers, you 
have been gently led by the hand of your alma mater, and at their in- 
spiring source you shall repair the waste of your withered hearts when 
ready to faint and fall under the heat of the noontide sun. 

" In action be sober and vigilant. To all practical affairs bring that 
'wisdom of business' which Bacon has praised, and let it never be true 
of you, as Gothe has said, that 'thought widens man's wisdom, but 
lames his gait.' Let your feet be swift in the race and your hands ready 
to every good work. Lead strenuous lives, not only at the prompting 
of ambition — that spur which, as Milton tell us, raises the pure spirit 
i to scorn delight and live laborious days' — but, like Milton, live and act 
'as ever in the great Taskmaster's eye."-' 



GEORGETOWN COLLEGE, GEOKGETOWN. 

Founded in 1789, when its first building was erected, beginning with 
its classes in 1792, and chartered by Congress as a university in 1815 
this institution has acquired a full title to the name thus granted, by 
adding to its academic department a Medical School in 1851, and a Law 
School in 1870. But as these both are located in Washington, and the 
academic halls alone remain in Georgetown, the old name of "George- 
town College" is the familiar title by which it is generally known. 

The commencement of the Medical School was held March 6, of the 
present year, when a class of 24 graduated ; that of the Law School June 
4, when, after an address from Attorney-General Williams, sketching 
the growth of law, defining the legitimate duties of the profession, and 
showing how good lawyers are made, a class of 23 received diplomas. 
The college proper held its fifty- sixth commencement June 26, 11 aca- 
demic students finishing their course, and many others receiving prizes 
for proficiency. The full account of degrees bestowed is as follows : 

313 



28 

IN COURSE. 

A. B., 11 ; A. M., 3 ; Phar. B., (Bachelor of Pharmacy) 1 ; LL. B., 23 ; 
M. D., 24, 

HONORARY. 

A. M.: Dr. P. J. Murphy, Washington— 1 ; LL. D. : Richard T. 
Merrick, esq., Washington — 1. 

NEW DEPARTMENTS. 

No new departments have been added since 1870. "At a future day 
the college may provide an extended commercial course, and another 
course of science, but it has not been found expedient, or even pos- 
sible, to inaugurate these departments yet." 

NEW PROFESSORS AND PRESIDENT. 

Daniel J. Kelly, A. M., has been appointed to the chair of chemistry, 
and George F. Benkert to that of music. The Be v. P. F. Healy has 
been appointed to succeed the recently deceased Bev. J. Early, the 
accomplished and much-loved president of the college. 

LIBRARY. 

The increase of the library has been 250 volumes, of which 50 were 
donations. 

MUSEUM. 

Thirty additional specimens (not characterized) have been added to 
the museum. 

PUBLICATIONS. 

None except the annual catalogue, and a paper entitled the College 
Journal, conducted by the students. 

STANDARD OF SCHOLARSHIP. 

It is claimed by the officers of the college, members of the Society of 
Jesus, that though the graduates of other colleges, owing to their more 
advanced age, may have greater finish of literary culture, those of 
Georgetown, owing to the constant supervision of their studies by in- 
structors, are fully the equals in scholastic attainments of any in 
America. 



NATIONAL DEAF-MUTE COLLEGE, WASHINGTON. 

The annual commencement-exercises of this " Silent College" was 
held on the bright evening of June 25, in the hall of the institution at 
Kendall Green. An interesting feature of them, besides addresses in 

314 



29 

the sign-language, was the delivery of a salutatory by one student and 
of a valedictory by another, who, though deaf-mutes, spoke their salu- 
tations and farewells in our ordinary oral fashion, showing how much 
can be accomplished by instruction in this line. 

The valedictory was followed by an address from the Hon. John 
Eaton, Commissioner of Education, who said that though reminded 
by the presence of the students of the great misfortune of a child not 
being able to hear or understand a parent's voice, he could congratulate 
them that, through the good providence of God, they were able now to 
receive instruction in man's current speech, without waiting to have 
impediments removed at the day of resurrection. The improvement in 
the standing of persons of their class was also further matter for con- 
gratulation. Time was when a deaf-mute was an outcast, not fit 
to associate with the human race, while now such were taken to 
the homes and hearts of men as objects of special care and sympathy. 
He remembered that when the first institution for their trainiug was 
established at Hartford, in 1816, it was called an asylum, as if a place 
of refuge from apprehended violence, whereas now the place where they 
were gathered bore the honorable name of college, and they themselves 
were made the objects of the nation's loving liberality and care. Nor 
was this a charity. It was simply justice ; for it is the duty of a State 
to educate its children, and bestow on them such nurture as their cir- 
cumstances may require. The idea that it is a charity should be ban- 
ished from the theory of our civilization, and instead of a feeling of 
humiliation there might be an honest pride at receiving from the nation 
that full college- training which no other people bestows on the deaf- 
mute. 

DEGREES. 

At the close of the Commissioner's address came the bestowment of 
degrees, when 3 graduates received that of A. B., in course. 

NEW INSTRUCTOR. 

Mr. A. G. Draper, A. B., has been appointed tutor in Latin and mathe- 
matics. 

LIBRARY. 

The library has received within the year an accession of 500 volumes. 

PUBLICATIONS. 

By the college, the annual catalogue. 

By Professor Edward A. Fay, of the chair of history and ancient lan- 
guages, the American Annals of ilie Deaf and Dumb, a quarterly peri- 
odical, each number containing 61 or more pages, 8° ; $1.50 per year. 

315 



30 
HOWARD UNIVERSITY, WASHINGTON. 

At the commencement, June 11, the degree of A. B. was conferred on 
2 candidates, and that of M. D. on 1. 

In the medical department several changes have occurred. Dr. Tilden 
has resigned his professorship to become chemist to the Erie Railroad 
Company ; Dr. Johnson is succeeded as secretary of the faculty by 
Professor Purvis ; Professor Reyburn by Dr. N. F. Graham ; Professor 
Strong by Dr. J. B. G. Baxter; and Dr. Cheney, as demonstrator of 
anatomy, by Dr. Wm. A. Seaman, of the last graduating class.

VIKGINIA. 



UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, NEAR CHARLOTTESVILLE. 

This crown of the educational system of the State, of which Virgin- 
ians are justly proud, shone out with wonted brightness on its forty- 
ninth "public day," Thursday, July 3. Distinguished visitors from va- 
rious quarters graced the occasion, ladies in numbers lighting the old 
halls with brilliant colors and gay smiles. This, too, without the attrac- 
tion of the oratorio exhibitions customary at most colleges, for here the 
exercises, according to the programme, consisted simply of an opening 
prayer, of the delivery of " certificates of proficiency " for satisfactory 
attainments in certain lines of study, of the giving of diplomas to the 
graduates in certain schools, (as the school of Latin, Greek, German, 
history, or mathematics,) and of the conferring of the usually recog- 
nized degrees, occasional strains of music being apparently the only 
variation. 

DEGREES. 

The degrees in course — no honorary ones being here conferred — were : 
C. E., 3 ; C. & M. E., 3 j Sc. B., 2 ; LL. B., 18 ; M. D. 3 14 ; A. B., 1 ; A. 
M., 3. If this proportion of 40 professional and scientific to 4 class- 
ical and literary degrees seem to indicate a falling-off in old-time 
devotion to the classics and to literature, a glance at the list of grad- 
uates in special schools may reverse the judgment in respect to this, 
114 literates appearing here against 54 scientific graduates, which is 
nearly the proportion of Yale and Harvard. 

NEW PROFESSOR. 

In place of Dr. William H. McGuffey, deceased, Noah K. Davis, LL. D., 
has been elected to the chair of mental and moral philosophy and politi- 
cal economy. 

BENEFACTIONS. 

One new scholarship of $7,000, one of $3,400, and ten of $2,000 each, 
have been founded during the year past. The names of founders not 
given. 

LIBRARY. 

The library, originally selected and arranged by Mr. Jefferson, and 
since enlarged by purchases and donations to 35,000 volumes, has been 

317 



32' 

further increased during the year by an aggregate of 531 volumes and 
216 pamphlets and periodicals — 529 volumes and 55 pamphlets being 

gifts. 

PUBLICATIONS. 

Catalogue of the university for the session of 1872-'73 ; circulars of 
the law, medical, agricultural, and other schools ; circulars of the execu- 
tive committee of the society of alumni ; programme of commence- 
ment-exercises, 30th of June to 3d of July, 1873 ; notice of the university- 
organization and instruction from the report of the State-superintend- 
ent of education. 

RESOURCES. 

Fixed capital in lands, buildings, library, and apparatus $600, 000 

Moneyed donations, besides others of considerable value 160, 000 

Annual appropriation from the State 15, 000 



EXTENSION OP PRIVILEGES IN AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL. 

The University proposes to throw open forty farmers' scholarships in 
the agricultural department, in addition to the fifty now existing by 
State-law. These will be tenable for two years, and will afford free tui- 
tion in natural history and agriculture, in general, industrial, and agri- 
cultural chemistry, in natural philosophy, in mineralogy and geology, 
in mathematics, history, and English literature. They will be given 
only to such students as may declare their intention to practice agricul- 
ture as a profession, and present evidence of their being at least seven- 
teen years of age, of irreproachable moral character, and of capacity to 
profit by the instruction to be received at the university. 

NOTABLE WORDS. 

On the afternoon of commencement-day Governor Swann, of Mary- 
laud, delivered the address before the society of the alumni. It was, 
in a measure, a review of the American Republic, its rapid growth and 
prosperity, and its form of government. He concluded as follows : 

" We have reason for congratulation, my friends, that the same flag, 
representing the same glorious Union, as it came from the hands of our 
fathers, floats over us again to-day. It is the proud heritage of all the 
States, won in a common struggle, and endeared to us by common sac- 
rifices. "Virginia, more than any other, shares its renown. May it go 
forth once more, with every star in its place, among all nations and all 
people, blazing with renewed splendor, to proclaim to the world the ad- 
vancing inarch of freedom as developed by the glories of the new era, 

318 



33 

and to stand forever, in the accomplishment of its great destiny, as the 
beacon-light to inspire hope and confidence in the down-troddeu and op- 
pressed of every land, bearing the glad tidings of peace, good- will, and 
universal equality to the remotest nations of Christendom."

34 
COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MABY, WILLIAMSBURG. 

This oldest of American colleges, save one, is gradually rising out of 
the depressions brought on it by the war. Its buildings burned, its 
library much injured, its faculty dispersed, and the neighborhood from 
which it largely drew its students wasted and impoverished by the 
Peninsula campaign, it might have been excused for losing heart and 
hope. Its friends, however, have given liberally to resuscitate it ; its 
faculty have worked bravely on through their discouragements ; new 
buildings have arisen from the ashes of its fires ; the blanks in its 
chemical and philosophical apparatus have been filled ; its library, 
which, after all its losses, still numbers nearly 5,000 volumes, has been 
enriched with a fine collection of the classics ; and hope is entertained 
that, through the generosity of Congress, reparation for the losses suf- 
fered from our troops may be obtained. 

At its commencement, July 4, a considerable number of distinguished 
visitors were present. 

DEGREES IN COUESE. 

These comprised only 1 A. B., and 2 A. M. 

HONORARY. 

The honoraries merita causa were — D. D. : Eev. William G. Far- 
rington, New Jersey ; Bev. James H. Ticknor, Alabama ; Bev. 0. H.W. 
Stocking, Chicago, Illinois ; Bev. Bobert Nelson, Shanghai, China — 4; 
S. T. D : Bt. Bev. Henry C. Lay, bishop of Eastern Maryland — 1 j 
LL. D : Bt. Bev. F. M. Whittle, assistant bishop of Virginia — 1. 

NEW SCHOLARSHIP. 

One new scholarship has been founded since the last commencement. 
Founder, Bev. B. J. Graves, D. D., Sharon, Pa. Amount, $1,000. 

LIBRARY. 

The increase of the library for the year has been 600 volumes and 
pamphlets, of which 260 volumes and 315 pamphlets were donations. 

NOTABLE WORDS. 

Kind words toward Northern men, and friendly ones respecting the 
great central Government, appear to have been the order of the day at 
the Virginia commencements of the present year. William and Mary 
formed no exception to the rule, the president, in his address on gradu- 
ation-day, speaking in terms of high laudation of Mr. Hoar, of Massa- 
chusetts, and other northern Congressmen, who, voting and speaking 

320 



35 

for compensation to the college for injuries sustained from our troops 
during the war, had not only manifested their high sense of justice but 
done what in them lay to soothe the irritations growing out of the great 
strife, and bind again in loving union the lately alienated sections of 
our land. 



STATE AGBICULTUBAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE, 
BLACKSBUBG. 

The exercises of the first annual commencement of this institution 
began on Tuesday, July 8, but no class was yet prepared for graduation. 
On Wednesday Governor Gilbert C. Walker addressed the literary 
societies on the subject of " practical education," stating in the course 
of his remarks that Virginia has so advantageously disposed of her 
land received under the congressional grant for the benefit of agriculture 
and the mechanic arts, as to nearly double the principal of the fund, in- 
creasing the annual income to $30,000. Two-thirds of this income is set 
apart for the maintenance of this college, and one-third to the Hampton 
Normal and Agricultural Institute. 



Commencement occurred on Wednesday, June 18, when a class of 
twenty graduated.

WEST VIRGINIA. 



WEST VIBGINIA UNIVEBSITY, MOEGANTOWN. 

This institution, organized about five years ago, under the congres- 
sional land-grant, was called at the beginning, in common with other 
institutions of the same class, an agricultural college; but having been 
adopted and further endowed by the State, its name was changed as 
above. 

The proceeds of the sale of congressional lands belonging to this uni- 
versity were $50,000 ; the citizens of Morgan town contributed, in grounds 
and buildings, $50,000 more; and the State increased the endowment to 
about $110,000, with annual appropriations for current and contingent 
expenses, also making provision for such future buildings as the growth 
of the institution may from time to time demand.

In 1860 the college held an invested endowment of $50,000, nearly all 
of which was lost in the general wreck of the war. About $15,000 have 
since been secured as the nucleus of a new endowment, and efforts are 
being made, with a prospect of success, toward increasing it to a fund 
of $100,000 during the coming year. 



No official report from this college has been received, and no informa- 
tion relative to the recent commencement has come to hand from any 
source. A newspaper report gives the folio wing in respect to the 
finances of the college : 

" The real estate of Davidson College is valued at $150,000, the avail- 
able fund at $85,000. The annual receipts pay all expenses and leave a 
surplus." 



UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL.

SOUTH CAROLINA. 



UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COLUMBIA. 

Founded as a college 1801-1806, and enlarged into a university 1865. 

No returns of tie degrees conferred at the summer-commencement of 
this university have been received, but information comes that its trus- 
tees, desiring to meet more fully the wants of the people, have resolved 
to open the fall-session with the following departments, some apparently 
in place of, some additional to, the ten schools that have previously ex- 
isted : 

1. A preparatory school, which, while under the care of a principal, 
will have its classes sent to the lecture-rooms of various professors for 
instruction. The object of this school will be to fit students either for 
ordinary business or for the higher departments of the university. N~o 
charge icill he made for tuition here. 

2. A college of literature and arts, giving the four years' course of in- 
struction in English literature, mathematics, natural, mental, and moral 
science, ancient and modern languages, which forms the usual prepara- 
tion for the degree of A. B. 

3. A two years' course of instruction in the above studies, without 
the languages, intended to fit young men for the department of law or 
medicine, or for active business. 

4. The Law School, as before, but improved by the aid of professors 
from the other schools, who will give instruction in elocution, rhetoric, 
logic, history, political philosophy, and political economy. 

5. The Medical College, also improved by the aid of the professors 
from the literary schools, enabling students to remedy any defects in 
their previous education. 

The various professors have generally agreed to relinquish their fees 
for lectures and tuition, and it is hoped that the legislature, at its next 
session, will abolish fees entirely and open the university to all the citi- 
zens without charge for instruction.

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT. 

President Middleton, in his address to the graduating class, among 
other wise and seasonable words enforcing the duty of an unselfish de- 
votion to principle and right, said : 

" One undoubted advantage has attended the frightful disorders of 
the past few years. We have been enabled thereby to point you to the 
practical results of selfish greed, and to draw from them such comments 
upon life and duty as have furnished us with illustrations far more pow- 
erful than any which the most eloquent abstractions could supply. You 
will know now that patriotism means something more than party, that 
the true worker is the silent worker, and that he is best fitted for office 
who thinks most of its weight, and least of its honors and emoluments. 
# # # # The most successful results of self-seeking are not worth 
what they cost, and the honor which comes undesired and unsought is 
the only honor which will survive the siftings of the social encounter. 
Be concerned about nothing but duty, be content with nothing but 
truth, and thus you will become fellow- workers with all the wise and 
the good who have gone before you, and with Him who made them what 
they were."

GEORGIA 



STATE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, ATHENS. 

Among the oldest of our higher educational institutions, this uni- 
versity is now in its seventy-second year. At its commencement, held 
August 6th, the degrees conferred, in course and honorary, were as fol- 
lows: 

IN COURSE. 

A. B., 15 ; A. M., 1 j Sc. B., 1 ; C. E., 3 ; C. & M. E., 3 ; LL. B., 10. 
The degree of A. M. here, as in the University of Virginia, is not con- 
ferred on any college A. B. that may present evidence of having pursued 
some studies, literary or professional, for three years after graduation, 
but is the highest honor awarded a graduating student. It is bestowed 
only on those students of the university who obtain "certificates of 
proficiency" in each of the eight academic schools, Latin, Greek, modern 
languages, belles-lettres, metaphysics and ethics, pure mathematics, 
natural philosophy and astronomy, chemistry and geology. 

HONORARY. 



NEW DEPARTMENTS, SCHOOLS, ETC. 

There have been added during the year a department of mining en- 
gineering, a school of analytical chemistry and agriculture, and a 
post-graduate course for civil engineers. It is also contemplated to 
add a school of natural history. 

NEW PROFESSORS. 

Professor H. 0. White has been appointed to the chair of general 
and applied chemistry, and Professor E. M. Pendleton to that of agri- 
culture and horticulture. The chancellor, Rev. A. A. Lipscomb, D.D ., 
is said to have resigned his place. 

BENEFACTIONS. 

From the town of Athens, $25,000 to build a laboratory ; and from 
private friends, $3,000 for apparatus with which to furnish it. 

SCHOLARSHIPS. 

Through the appropriation of the congressional land-scrip fund to 



44 

the university, and the making the State College of Agriculture a de- 
partment of the same, 220 scholarships are given to the State ; and the 
students to fill these are appointed from the different counties, receiving 
their tuition free. Young men who design to enter the ministry are also 
instructed gratuitously, when it is required. 

LIBRARY. 

The library of the university, now containing about 13,000 volumes, 
carefully selected, has been increased during the year by the gift of 75 
books and 25 pamphlets. 

MUSEUM. 

The museum, which is under the care of the professor of geology, has 
this year received no accessions to its stores.

ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT. 

The president's address to the class was begun by a pleasant allusion 
to that " chronic affliction of institutions of learning called the bacca- 
laureate-address, which, he said, gives the president the opportunity of 
making a private love-talk to his students in the presence of a large 
audience," thus affording him the pleasure of eulogizing the splendid 
success, the uniform good conduct, and the very pleasant associations 
of his graduates. 

The president, in the present case, however, waived this portion of 
the privileges of the occasion, and proceeded to offer words of counsel 
to the graduates as to their future, in which the duties of life, grouped 
under three general heads, were briefly considered, and a life of unselfish 
devotion to duty urged upon them. He said : 

" Be assured that the baccalaureate-crown which we bestow is no 
insignium of office. We repudiate that low and selfish motive to pur- 
sue an education, too often urged upon the young, that it secures to them 
the prospect of the emoluments and honors of office. Whatever laurels 
you may have won upon the rostrum, east down at the feet of your 
country, and ask for the working tools of a private citizen." 

NEW PROFESSOR APPOINTED. 



MUSEUM. 

The additions of specimens during the past year are reported as too 
numerous for special mention. 

PUBLICATIONS.

By the college, the annual catalogue j a manual of Regulations for 
Hoivard College, and a circular embracing Distinguishing features of 'How- 
ard College. 

DISCIPLINE OF THE COLLEGE. 

A prominent feature of this college, to which special attention is 
drawn by the president, Professor J. T. Murfee, as having been promotive 
of remarkably good results, is the application of the military system of 
discipline. While the institution is strictly civil, and there is no drill 
or other military exercise, the police organization for the promotion of 
order and attention to duty is similar to that of West Point. " If all 
the civil colleges of the country," says President Murfee, " were organized 
on this plan, the improvement would be wonderful." 



AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE, AUBURN. 

No information relating to the recent commencement of this institu- 
tion has been received. 

Established by the State from her share in the congressional land, 
grant for the benefit of the industrial arts, in addition to the $216,000 
realized from that source, this college received from the East Alabama 
College, of Auburn, the property and lands of that institution, to the 
value of $100,000, on condition that the college should be located 
there. 

With this beginning, including all the students of the former college 
who were prepared to enter, the Agricultural and Mechanical College, 
although established as recently as March, 1872, graduated its first 
class of six students at the close of the .first term, in October of the 
same year. 

333 



MISSISSIPPI. 



Another of the great State institutions which are fast rising in the 
West and South, through the aid and patronage of legislatures, to sup- 
plement the school -systems of the States, and afford their youthful citi- 
zens an opportunity for liberal education free of charge. In this, as in 
most of the others, besides the course for bachelor of arts, of science, 
and of philosophy, there is a course of civil engineering, one of agricul- 
ture and the mechanic arts, and one of law. The institution having 
lived through a quarter of a century, the Wednesday preceding com. 
mencement, June 25, was devoted to historic reminiscences by Chancellor 
Waddell, who has been connected with it from the first. 

Thursday, the 26th, was commencement-day, when visitors from all 
portions of the State and even from adjoining States filled the capacious 
chapel, to listen to the speeches of the graduating class and witness the 
presentation of diplomas to its members. 

DEGREES CONFERRED. 

A. B., 13; A. M., 2; Sc. B., lj LL. B., 9. With reference to the 
graduates who received the degree of A. M., it should be understood 
that here, as in some other universities, this degree is not now in any 
case conferred in course, but as the result of a full year's study after 
graduating as A. B., and after satisfactory examination in a post-grad- 
uate course embracing at least three of the university-departments of 
study, together with a thesis on some point connected with the course. 
This makes the distinction one of higher worth and better meaning 
than an ordinary A. M. 

LIBRARY, MUSEUM, ETC. 

The library is spoken of in general terms as " extensive," containing 
many thousands of volumes ; the reading-room as having 42 daily and 
weekly journals, and 30 reviews and magazines ; the apparatus of the 
philosophical and chemical department as " magnificent and unsur- 
passed;" and the museum as enriched with excellent cabinets of miner- 
als, shells„and herbal preparations, besides the great collections of the 
geological survey of the State— the aim being to make the institution so 
perfect in all its advantages and appointments, that it shall not be nec- 
essary for Mississippians to leave their own State to obtain a literary, 
scientific, practical, or professional education, but find all they desire in 
their own State University.

PROGRESS AND CONDITION. 

This university, being directly in the track of large military movements, 
suffered much during the war, its buildings being burned, its resources 
crippled, and its professors and students scattered. Instruction was not 
resumed till 18G9, since which time it has, except financially, been pros- 
perous, and is said to offer now to students facilities for learning equal 
to those of any institution in the South. 



STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS. 

Incorporated June 25, 1869, and receiving students without regard to 
race, sex, or religious denomination, this institution has become substan- 
tially, as is pretty sure to be the case at the South with such provisions, 
a uuiversity for the colored population. Appreciating its privileges, 
they have taken it heartily in hand, filled it with students, and graduated 
a respectable class this year. 

The commencement-exercises took place on the evening of June 11, 
under the direction of President S. S. Ashley, when, after a series of 
essays, orations, and theses by the graduates, which are spoken of in 
highly commendatory terms, there were conferred the following

TENNESSEE. 



UMVEKSITY OF THE SOUTH, SEWANEE. 

First planned in 185G, by Bishop Polk, of Louisiana, as a means of 
affording to the farther Southern States the opportunity for thorough 
literary cultivation in connection with the religious influences of his 
Church, this university had, before the war, at least as fair prospects 
of successful operation as any newly founded seat of learning iu our 
country. The bishops and clergy of the States for which it was designed 
all heartily approved the founder's plans ; the laity came generously 
forward with what then were held to be immense subscriptions ; the leg- 
islature of Tennessee gave it, most willingly, an ample charter ; a domain 
on the Sewanee Mountain, embracing nine full miles in length and two 
in breadth, magnificent in beauty and salubrious in the extreme, was 
selected for its site ; and everything appeared to promise both a grand 
endowment and a noble educational success, when the clouds of war 
arose. As these dispersed, little remained to the university but its 
domain. The wealthy southerners that had subscribed for its endow- 
ment were impoverished, and the paid-up funds had vanished, like almost 
everything else, in the great war. But generous and sympathetic offer- 
ings from abroad enabled the trustees to put the educational work in 
operation on a moderate scale in 18G8, since which time its development 
has been rapid, its corps of professors and instructors now numbering 
13, its students more than 200, its schools 7, with a library of 5,000 vol- 
umes, and buildings sufficient for all actually existent needs. 

SCHOOLS. 

After the plan of most southern universities, separate schools are es- 
tablished for each department of learning, one of civil engineering, one 
of mathematics, one of modern and one of ancient languages, one of 
metaphysics and literature, one of theoretical and experimental chemis- 
try, and one of moral science and Christian evidences. The number of 
these schools is to be increased as fast as the resources of the university 
allow it, so as to embrace all branches of knowledge usually taught 
in such an institution. Students elect such schools as best meet the 
ends they have in view, not less than three in any case, and at the close 
of the scholastic year receive a diploma of graduation from such in 
the studies of which they cau sustain a satisfactory examination. 

MILITARY DRILL. 

To promote discipline and physical development, the military drill is 
made a part of the course of instruction.

VANDEEBILT UNIVERSITY, NASHVILLE. 

Ground was broken for the Vanderbilt University at Nashville, Ten- 
nessee, on September 16. Bishop McTyeire, of the Southern Methodist 
Episcopal Church, began the proceedings by reading the 127th Psalm, 
beginning, " Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that 
build it," and then removed the first earth. The site is a very com- 
manding one, just without the city. Commodore Vanderbilt has con- 
tributed $500,000 to the erection and endowment of the university.

chairs in the business-College. President McDonald having announced 
to the board that, owing to his feeble health, he must hereafter have 
lighter work, has been unanimously requested to continue in his old chair 
of professor of belles-lettres and mental and moral science. It is hoped 
that he will at least be able to perform the duties of this chair. Should 
he not, however, perfect and certain arrangements have been made by 
which his chair will be filled every day. Judge Green will continue, as 
heretofore, in his chair of professor of law. In addition to this, the 
trustees have created him chancellor of the university, and clothed him 
with all the powers of president.

periodical. 

SCHEME OF INSTRUCTION AND GOVERNMENT. 

The university embraces in its plan seven colleges, one of science and 
literature, one of agriculture and mechanics, and one "of the Bible," with 
normal,* commercial, law, and medical colleges, each under the imme- 
diate government of its own faculty and presiding officer, while the 
general supervision of the university as a whole is committed to a re- 
gent who is elected from among the curators. 

HISTORY. 

To the untiring and disinterested devotion of its present regent, John 
B. Bowman, LL. D., the university owes its origin and present exist- 
ence. The idea conceived by Mr. Bowman, and to which, while yet a

young man, he devoted his life, not only without hope of pecuniary re- 
ward, but at great positive sacrifice, was to found in his native State a 
university for the people, accessible to the poorest boy in the land ; his 
intention being, as he expressed it, to " cheapen this whole matter of 
education, so that it may run as free as our great rivers, and bless the 
coming millions." 

His appeal to the people for funds met with remarkable success, 
$150,000 having been donated within 150 days, a sum which was soon in- 
creased to $200,000. In 1858 the university was chartered ; the follow- 
ing year the college of arts was opened, and, owing to the vigilant and 
efficient care of its founder, no suspension of the college occurred, and 
not a dollar was lost, although, daring the war, opposing armies were 
encamped around, and the buildings were finally taken as hospitals for 
the sick and wounded. 

In 1865, again through the efforts of Mr. Bowman, who raised over 
$100,000 for the purchase of an experimental farm, the congressional 
provision for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts was incor- 
porated, with the funds of the university, making a grand capital of 
over half a million of dollars, which has since been increased to the 
amount of about $800,000, including the endowment and real estate of 
the institution.

EMINENCE COLLEGE, EMINENCE. 

Commencement-day at this college was Thursday, June 5. The gradu- 
ating class numbered thirteen, of whom ten were ladies. Degrees were 
conferred upon only four of the class, the remaining nine having pur- 
sued the special course of study in the female department, receiving 
certificates of graduation in that department.

PUBLICATIONS. 

By the college, the annual catalogue ; and by the students, two peri- 
odicals, The Prismatic Gem, and The Dewdrop. 



Plainness of dress is encouraged and inculcated ; parents are especially 
requested to furnish only plain, substantial clothing for their children ; 
and, as a result of this influence, it is noticed in a newspaper report of 
the commencement-exercises, that one of the lady-graduates upon that 
occasion was dressed in calico. 



BEREA COLLEGE, BEREA. 

The seventh anniversary of this college was celebrated and its first 
graduating class sent forth on Wednesday, July 2. 

A specialty of the institution is that it furnishes equal facilities for 
education to all classes, white and colored, male and female ; hence, 
of the 19 students who took part in the graduating exercises, 5 were 
colored, 13 were male, and 6 female. The audience, numbering from 
1,200 to 1,500, was about two-thirds white and one-third colored. Here 
were congregated together the white men of the mountains, some of 
whom had ridden on horseback eighty miles to attend the exercises, the 
colored people of the Blue Grass region, and the wealth and aristocracy 
of Richmond and Lexington. 

On Monday evening of commencement-week, Hon. William Brown, 
a member of the Kentucky State legislature, addressed a large au- 
dience, by invitation of the college-societies, his theme being "The 
duty of the State to provide education for her citizens regardless of race 

346

or color." Though able and eloquent, this address was chiefly remark- 
able as coming from a Kentuckian, the child of slaveholding parents, 
formerly a slaveholder himself, and born and brought up in a slave- 
State. He was, he said, " a man grown before his lungs were ever 
filled with the pure air of a free State," and, as he had been nourished 
and supported from his youth up by slave-labor, and to slave-labor 
owed his education, his livelihood, his wealth, and whatever of advance- 
ment and distinction he now enjoyed, he felt that there was a solemn 
obligation resting upon him to repay, as far as possible, the debt he 
owed the race. 

DEGREES. 

In course, A. B., 3. Honorary, none. 

LIBRARY 

Increased by gift of 200 volumes. 

NEW BUILDING. 

Just completed a ladies' hall, costing $50,000.

RE-ORGANIZATION OF COURSE OF STUDY. 

The whole college-course of study has been re-organized on the elect- 
ive plan, and the studies distributed into eight departments, of which 
three, namely, those of English literature, modern languages, and his- 
tory and political economy, are mainly new. 

PROFESSORS APPOINTED.

OBERLIN COLLEGE, OBERLIN. 

Promptly at 9 o'clock on the bright morning of August 5, the exercises of 
the fortieth Oberliu commencement were opened by its venerable ex-presi- 
dent, and thence coutiuued for the greater portion of the day. Twenty- 
two young men and one young lady constituted the graduating class in 
the full collegiate course. Thirty completed the ladies' course, which dif- 
fers from the full collegiate in pursuing Latin only through Cicero, Sal- 
lust, and Virgil, and substituting French for Greek. Nine graduated in 
the theological course. One of the lady-graduates was colored. In the 
absence of distinct official information, this is all that can be stated as 
to the commencement. 

NUMBERS. 

The number of students during the year past, in all departments, has 
been 1,246. 

FINANCES. 

At the alumni-dinner, following the commencement, it was stated 
that the annual income of the college amounts to $22,000 and the ex- 
penses to $30,000 ; the deficit being made up by contributions from 
friends. The professors, receiving only $1,200. are compelled to eke 
out these scanty salaries by preaching and other extra-official work. 
For the great work which it is doing the college needs much larger 
funds. 

349 



64 



NEW BUILDING. 

Council-Hall, a new erection for college-uses, has risen to its second 
story, but needs $40,000 more for full completion. 

The students have been seeking means to put up a gymnasium, and 
have nearly secured the amount required. 

PROPOSED CHANGES. 

In addition to other improvements in the preparatory department, it 
is proposed to divide it — putting into a separate school, with its own 
principal, the students preparing for college-classes. It is also proposed 
to reconstruct the ladies' course, and to give the graduates in the new 
course a degree as well as a diploma. 



OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY, DELAWARE. 

This institution stands in close relation to the Ohio Wesleyan Female 
College, at the same place, and their commencements are held on suc- 
cessive days. That of the college for females came on Wednesday, June 
25, in the opera-house of the city, when, in two successive sessions, morn- 
ing and afternoon, 32 young ladies delivered addresses and 30 received 
the diploma which marked them as Artium Baccalaurece. That of the 
university was held on the following day, when again there were two 
sessions, morning and afternoon, in which 36 young gentlemen took 
actual part, several others having been excused after having parts as- 
signed them.

CHANGES. 

The college for females loses, by resignation, the valuable services of 
President Douelson, who has been for seventeen years at its head, and 
of Mrs. Donelson, who has occupied for five years the position of gov- 
erness. They go out with most flattering testimonials from both the 
trustees and alumnae ; while Dr. F. A. Newhall, for many years a pro- 
fessor in the university, retires from the active duties of the ministry 
in New England to take the presidency. 



MOUNT UNION COLLEGE, MOUNT UNION. 

At the recent commencement there were ten graduates, of whom two 
were females. Of the degrees in course bestowed on these no report 
has been received.

Hand-Boole of Bible Geography, and Rev. William H. Locke, A. M., 
Alliauce, Ohio, author of The Story of the Regiment — 2. 

CO-EDUCATION OP THE SEXES. 

At a meeting on the afternoon of commencement-day, Governor Noyes, 
of Ohio, took strong ground in favor of giving females equal rights with 
males in colleges and higher schools, and of having them pursue their 
studies in close association with the other sex. 

It is a rule of the college that ladies shall be admitted on the same 
terms as gentlemen to all classes and departments, to all honors and 
privileges, and even to the position of trustee or professor. 

FINANCES. 

The college possesses an unincumbered property, estimated to be 
worth over $386,000, with an income for the last year of $22,750.

cus Bosworth, esq., of Middleport, Ohio, and a prize-fund of the same 
352 



67 

amount by J. Muuro Brown, esq., of New York. A friend of the college, 
who has made large gifts before, offers it $50,000 if $80,000 additional 
shall be raised from other sources. The first response is a pledge of 
$5,000.

The total increase of the library has been 1,091 volumes and 2,126 



OTTERBELN UNIVERSITY, WESTERVILLE. 

From its beginning this university has been open on the same terms 
to students of either sex, the young ladies connected with it rooming in 
a different hall from the young men, but reciting in the same classes 
and to the same professors, though usually in an abbreviated c ourse 
At the recent commencement, June 5, one of the graduates was a lady. 

The baccalaureate-address of President Thompson was a development 
of the distinctive principle of this university, that there is as much 
need for culture of the heart as of the head, and that an educated 
Christian is the highest style of man. 

DEGREES. 

In course, A. B., lj A. M., 65 Sc. B., 2 ; Sc. M., 1. Honorary, D. D. :

68 
WITTENBERG COLLEGE, SPRINGFIELD. 

Au address before the alumni, by Hon. J. D. Cox, opened the 
exercises of coininenceineut-week at this college, whose name recalls 
the fountain-head of Lutheranism. The address was delivered on 
Wednesday evening, Jane 25, and dealt with the subject of " The perma- 
nency of type among the differeut races of mankind," deriving hence an 
argument against too great an extension of our territory as tending to 
bring into a dangerous influence in our Government the low-type races 
who extensively prevail in Mexico and the southeastern islands of 
our seas. 

The addresses of the students on commencement-day, as reported in the 
Lutheran Observer, did credit to the training received by them at the 
college, displaying, with a fair degree of culture, a critical discernment 
and a literary taste not always exhibited on such occasions. The 
excellent spirit that pervaded them was also noteworthy. In these 
addresses the students were limited to ten minutes each. 

After a baccalaureate-address from President Sprecher, in which he 
urged the cultivation of " The true ideal of life," as embracing religious 
as well as intellectual development, the kingdom of God around, above, 
and within us, there were conferred the following 

DEGREES. 

In course, A. B.,- 11 ; A. M., 9. No honorary degrees reported. The 
bestowment of degrees was followed by the brief but sufficient words 
from the venerable president : " Our last wish, as our first, only intensi- 
fied by the long and pleasant intercourse that has subsisted between 
us, is that you may henceforth so prosecute your studies as to become 
not only eminent in literature, art, and science, but good, true, and noble 
followers of our Lord Jesus Christ." 

BENEFACTIONS. 

Three thousand dollars ($3,000) by legacy from Rev. Dr. Wolf. By 
gift from Mr. Hawley, property amounting to $6,000, and by subscrip- 
tions from many friends of the college, $110,000. 

NEW BUILDING. 

A boarding-house, erected by the college for the further accommoda- 
tion of its students, has materially improved those accommodations, at 
a cost of only $3,000. 



HEIDELBERG COLLEGE, TIFFIN. 

The only account of the exercises of commencement-week'at Heidel- 
berg received at the Bureau of Education has been a statement in the 
354 



69 

annual catalogue that the address before the literary societies was to 
be delivered on Tuesday, June 17, by Hon. Thomas J. Allen, and that 
before the alumni by Miss Florence Oronise, A. M., on Wednesday, 
June 18. This last is one among many indications, not only of the 
extent to which women are taking hold of educational advantages in 
western colleges, but also of the way in which educated women are 
being used to give new interest to college-exercises. 

DEGREES. 

The degrees conferred in course at the commencement on Thursday, 
June 19, were A. B., 3 ; Sc. B., 4 ; Scientice Magistrw, 2. No honorary 
degrees. 

NEW PROFESSORSHIP. 

The alamni have created during the year past a professorship of 
belles-lettres, which has been filled by the appointment of Mr. C. O 
Knepper, A. M., to the chair. 

BENEFACTION. 

R. W. Shawhan, esq., has donated 6,080 acres of land in Missouri, 
valued at $15,000, to found a professorship, to be called the Shawhan 
Professorship of Natural Sciences. 

NEW BUILDING. 

A new boarding-hall is now in course of erection for the college at a 
cost of about 17,000. 



KENYON COLLEGE, GAMBIER. 

This principal institution of the Protestant Episcopalians of Ohio 
celebrated its forty-seventh commencement this year under painful cir- 
cumstances, having recently lost by death in Italy the venerable president 
of its board of trustees and of its theological faculty, the Right Reverend 
Charles P. Mcllvaine, D. D., D. C. L., and LL. D., a man of princely 
presence, large acquirements, high literary reputation, and noble Chris- 
tian character. This great loss threw a shade over all the exercises, 
and made what is usually a festal scene almost a funereal one. 

DEGREES. 

In course, A. B., 9 ; A. M., 7. Honorary, none. 

As to the degree of Master of Arts, it was resolved by the faculty 
that, as this should be evidence of more thorough scholarship than is 
required for the degree of Bachelor, the following rule should hold, after 
the present year : 

355 



70 

" Candidates for the degree of Master of Arts in course, must show 
that they have, since taking the Bachelor's degree, been engaged for 
three years in the study or practice of one of the learned professions, 
or in other scientific or literary pursuits ; and each candidate must 
deliver to the faculty an essay upon some literary or scientific theme." 

LIBRARY. 

The increase of the library during the past year, mainly from gifts, 
has been 300 volumes. 

CHANGE OF HEAD. 

The presidency of the theological faculty, as well as that of the board 
of trustees, devolves by the death of Bishop Mcllvaine on the Bight Bev- 
erend Gregory T. Bedell, D. L\, late assistant bishop of the diocese, and 
now its bishop. 

ROLL OF HONOR. 

One interesting feature of the last triennial catalogue is a roll of 
nearly two hundred names of Kenyou officers and students, who, at the 
call of their country, enlisted beneath her standard for the preservation 
of the Union and the recovery of the seceding South. It is an honor- 
able list, marked by distinguished service, and goes to show how great 
an amount of culture went into the war and stood behind the bayonets. 

THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. 

The theological seminary connected with the college has been tem- 
porarily suspended, and will probably be removed to another site. 



HIBAM COLLEGE, HIBAM. 

The sixth commencement of this institution as a college, the twenty- 
third since its foundation as a school, was held on Thursday, June 19,

Instruction, and programme of cominencemeut-exercises.

to meet the wants of teachers in the public schools. 

NEW PROFESSOR. 

Mr. Grove E. Barber has been advanced to the chair of Latin and 
Greek languages and literature. 

REPORT OF PRESIDENT. 

" Previous history of college encouraging in the way of patronage , 
discouraging in the way of money; prospect in the latter particular , 
brightening. One of its friends is about to endow the chair of mathe- 
matics." 



WESTFIELD COLLEGE,. WESTFIELD. 

The fifth annual commencement of this college was held on Wednes- 
day, June 18, when 1 young gentleman received the degree of A. B.

of the recipients being a young lady, who was the valedictorian for the 
day. 



WESTERN RESERVE COLLEGE, HUDSON.

WILBERFORCE UNIVERSITY, XENIA. 

The object of this institution is the higher education of the colored 
race, to which also its president, D. A. Payne, D. D., belongs. Ladies, 
as well as gentlemen, are admitted to its privileges. 

The baccalaureate-sermon, by President Payne, was what could be 
expected only from one whose head and heart are dedicated to the cause 
of education and Christianity. His theme was " The work of life." He 
would not have them think more highly of themselves than they ought 
to think; the less they thought of themselves, the more God and man 
would think of them. 

The commencement occurred on Wednesday, June 18. After the 
usual exercises, which were participated in by the entire graduating 
class of six, President Payne conferred the degrees. To the four of the 
graduates who had chosen the profession of teacher he gave wholesome 
counsel, urging them to eminence in piety, for the Christian teacher can 
take the tender heart of youth and bind it to the cross of Christ. He 
presented the diplomas with the injunction : " Let the studies and labors 
of each succeeding year increase the glory that now clusters round your 
diplomas. Die rather than dishonor them." 

DEGREES. 

In course, A. B., 4 ; Sc. B., 2. Honorary, A. M. : Rev. William H. 
Hunter, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Peter H. Clark, Cincin- 
nati, Ohio — 2; D. D. : Rev. Henry M. Turner, Savannah, Georgia; Rev. 
Richard H. Cain, Charleston, South Carolina, and Rev. Benjamin T. 
Turner, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — 3. 

NEW DEPARTMENT.

73 

to grant the free use of the buildings and grounds to Professors Bishop, 
McFarland, and Osborn for such a course of instruction as may be agreed 
upon. It is expected that they will establish a preparatory school for 
other colleges and a school of mining, engineering, and metallurgy. 
If they do not use the property, it may be leased to other parties. The 
fixed income of the university ($5,600 a year) is to be used to pay the 
present indebtedness, and when this is done it is to be properly invested, 
with a view of reorganizing the university as soon as an endowment of 
$50,000 may be secured. A committee of five trustees was appointed, 
to act in conjunction with the alumni-committee, to petition the legis- 
lature of Ohio (and Congress, if necessary) to place the university in 
the hands of its alumni, as corporate members, to control the institu- 
tion.

INDIANA. 



The annual catalogue of this important institution states that the 
year now closing has been the most successful in its history, a larger 
number than ever previously having been in attendance, and a progress 
greater than that of any preceding year having been achieved. This is 
thought to be the result in a large degree of the enlightened policy 
recently inaugurated by the State, and of the liberal appropriations 
made for the furtherance of the objects of the university. It boasts 
that, though struggling with difficulties from its inception in 1828 until 
the receipt of a late appropriation from the legislature, it yet has 864 
alumni who have completed a full course, besides 6,000 young men that 
have received a partial training at its hands. And as all students are 
authorized to receive instruction free of charge, aud ladies are admitted 
to the collegiate course with the same privileges as young men, its lists 
are likely to be much enlarged in the near future. 

At the recent commencement, July 3, after addresses on the preced- 
ing days before the societies by Hon. D. W. Yoorhees, and before 
the alumni by Hon. C. A. De Bruler and Miss Sarah P. Morrison, 
with others from the governor and lieutenant-governor of the State, 
there was a bestowment of the following 

DEGREES. 

In course, A. B., 8; A. M., 6; Sc. B., 12; LL. B., 21; M. D., 48 Xo 
honoraries. As tbese degrees indicate, there are iu connection with the 
classical and scientific departments flourishing schools of law and 
medicine. 

NEW DEPARTMENTS. 

A school preparatory to the college of arts, and meant to be the basis 
of such a college, has been established, as also a system of military 
training under the direction of au officer of the United States Army. 
Arrangements for a preparatory department for the college proper have 
been likewise made. 

NEW PROFESSORSHIP AND APPOINTEES. 

A professorship of the art of discourse and elocution, a priucipalship 
of the preparatory department, aud a new tutorship have been insti- 

363 



78 

tuted by the college-authorities. The first named has been filled by the 
appointment of Hon. George W. Hoss, LL. D., to the chair; the 
second, by that of Walter R. Houghton, A. B., to the principalship ; 
and the third, by making Miss Sarah P. Morrison, A. M., a graduate of the 
class of 1869, a tutor. The salary of the first has been fixed at $2,000; 
that of the second, at $1,200; that of the third, at $600. It is said, too, 
that the trustees have resolved to increase those of all professors who 
have served ten years or more from $1,600 to $2,000, and that of the 
president from $2,000 to $2,500. 

BENEFACTIONS. 

From the State treasury, for the uses of the university, $67,000. 

LIBRARY. 

The increase of the library for the year past has been 500 volumes. 

NEW BUILDING-. 

A new college-edifice, 130 by 56 feet, and three stories high, is in pro- 
cess of erection, at an estimated cost of $40,000. It is to correspond in 
style with the existing edifice, which is Elizabethan-Gothic, and on its 
first floor, in a room 100 by 50 feet, will be displayed the Owen cabinet 
of over 85,000 specimens. The second floor will be devoted to libraries 
and recitation-rooms, and the third to a law lecture-room and two halls 
for the literary societies. 

PUBLICATIONS. 

By the university, an annual report and a supplementary one. By 
Professor Daniel Kirkwood, LL. D., Comets and Meteors, a Treatise on 
the Phenomena of these, and of the Discoveries made respecting them within 
the past Forty Years. Philadelphia, J. B. Lippincott & Co. 



NORTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY, INDIANAPOLIS. 

It has been somewhat extensively stated that Mr. James Johnson, of 
Indianapolis, had given $500,000 and a building-site for the foundation of 
a medical school in connection with this university, $300,000 to be ex- 
pended in beautifying the grounds and in building, and the remainder 
to be invested as a permanent endowineut-fund. Information from In- 
dianapolis leads to doubt whether this statement is correct, though 
what is the source of incorrectness is not indicated. Another published 
statement, that the university was to be removed to Irvington, a pleas- 
ant village three miles from the city, and was to gain by the change a 
beautiful campus and $150,000, is confirmed. The removal has been 
decided on, and it is hoped that in addition to the $150,000 gained 
364 



79 

$300,000 may be realized from the sale of the present university- site in 
Indianapolis. A portion of this will be retained for present uses and 
until the new buildings at Irvington (the foundation for one of which 
has just been laid) shall be completed. While this matter has been 
pending the university has not been idle. It has organized two new 
chairs, elected a number of new professors, sent two of its former ones 
to Europe for special preparation, and made other changes and improve- 
ments, which will be reported in due time. 

Of the circumstances of the last commencement, the degrees conferred, 
the speeches made, and the indications of improvement given, no report 
has been received. 

CHANGE OF HEAD. 

President W. F. Black, having resigned his position as head of the 
faculty, has been succeeded by President O. A. Burgess. 



HANOVEE COLLEGE, HANOVEB. 

A peculiarity of this college is, that, though a denominational institu- 
tion, its advantages are offered, free of charge, to students of all 
churches. 

DEGREES. 

At the last commencement, Saturday, June 13, ten students gradu- 
ated, upon 6 of whom was bestowed the degree of A. B., and on the 
remaining 4 that of Sc. B. The degree of A. M. was conferred, not 
in course, but as the result of strict examination, upon 6 graduates of 
preceding years for proven meritorious attainments in post-graduate and 
professional studies. 

HONORARY DEGREES.

about 300 volumes. 

MUSEUM. 

About 1,000 specimens have been here added by gift. 



FRANKLIN COLLEGE, FRANKLIN. 

After a period of suspended vitality, Franklin College has been re- 
vived during the past year. Its lost buildings and grounds, worth 
$35,000, have been recovered by a payment of $13,000, which has been 
generously contributed by friends, who subscribed $56,000 for its relief 
and resuscitation. This leaves it $43,000 for endowment, which its 
stockholders hope to increase by $25,000 during the coming year. 

Its plan, as with many of the western colleges, is to educate young 
women as well as young men, affording them equal advantages. The 
prospect for a full attendance during the ensuing session is said to be 
encouraging. The faculty embraces, besides the president, six profes- 
sors and teachers, of whom three are males and three females. 

HONORARY DEGREES. 

No senior class existing for graduation at the late commencement, no 
degrees in course were granted ; but two honorary doctorates of divin- 
ity were conferred, one on Rev. T. R. Palmer, of Aurora, Illinois, and

NORTH WESTERN UNIVERSITY, EVANSTON. 

Under the auspices of the Methodist denomination, and situated eleven 
miles from Chicago to the north, this institution numbers five depart- 
ments: a college of literature and science, a medical college, a prepara- 
tory school, a school of theology termed the Garrett Biblical Institute, 
and a college for the training of females, termed the Evanston College 
for Young Ladies. The three first named are under the control of its 
trustees ; the last two are under that of separate boards, bnt in close 
relation with the others.* In all these, degrees are given ; but persons 
who do not seek a degree are allowed to attend recitations and lectures 
on certain prescribed conditions ; and of this privilege, as the catalogue 
most amply shows, very many avail themselves, 201 such appearing on 



NEW DEPARTMENTS. 

The college of literature and arts, and the college of technology, have 
been constituted during the year past, and now a college of law also 
supplements the university-curriculum, and affords the graduates of the 
collegiate departments an opportunity for prosecuting, in connection 
with their alma mater, whatever professional study they may choose. 

NEW PROFESSORS APPOINTED. 

To the chair of civil engineering, Professor Metcalf; to that of chem- 
istry, Professor Ally n ; to that of esthetics in the woman's- college, Miss

A newspaper correspondent, going somewhat beyond this, says : "Its 
assets are two millions; in eight years, it is believed, the property of the 
institution will be worth ten millions, aud in fifteen years twenty-five 
millions of dollars. Some of the best blocks and most valuable grounds 
in Chicago are owned by this universit}^. The ground upon which the 
grand Pacific Hotel is built was leased of this corporation for fifty years. 
Many think that in forty years this university will be the richest on the 
globe." 



KNOX COLLEGE, GALESBLRG. 
The twenty-eighth annual commencement-week opened with a bac- 



371 



86 

calaureate-discourse by Eev. A. F. Kemp, LL. D. Taking as his 
theme " Truth," he enlarged upon its power and value as an element of 
human character, and charged the graduating class to be true to them- 
selves, to their fellow-men, and to their God, the path of truth and rec- 
titude being the only one leading to ultimate success. 

At a re-union of one of the societies, on Monday evening, Dr. Kemp 
spoke of the college as prospering, its students and faculty working in 
perfect harmony, and all promising a bright future. 

On commencement-day, June 28th, after prayer by Rev. Dr. Can- 
dee, Hon. Chas. B. Lawrence, on behalf of the trustees, stated that 
the expenses of the institution had been so far lessened as to make the 
income from all sources meet them, and that, notwithstanding reports 
in some quarters to the contrary, the college never was iu better condi- 
tion than at the present time. 

DEGREES. 

At the close of the commencement-exercises, the following degrees 
were conferred : In course, A. B., 3 ; Sc. B., 1 ; A. M., 2. Honorary, D.

CHANGE. 

Since 1852 the college has tried the German system of dispensing 
with a college dormitory and letting the students board all over the city, 
but now find it necessary to return to the usual system. 

DEPARTMENTS. 

Besides the academic or preparatory department, (which embraces 
both an English and classical course,) and the college proper, there is 
here a adies'-seminary, designed to furnish to such young ladies as de- 
sire it the opportunity for pretty full collegiate culture. The course is 
briefer than the full college-course for young men, but embraces a four- 
years' curriculum, and corresponds to what is usually termed the 
" ladies-course " in Western colleges. The pupils iu this have the 
benefit of instruction and lectures from the president and professors of 
the college, and may, if they wish to do so, enter the college-classes with 
the young men. Diplomas of proficiency are granted to those who com- 
plete the seminary course, but no degrees are granted except to such as 
may go through the full collegiate curriculum. 

A new normal department has also been added, during the year past, 
for the benefit of such as are desirous to become teachers. Those who 
enter this receive special instruction one hour each day for three 
months of the fall session in the theory and practice of teaching. 

LIBRARY. 

The college-library contains 3,000 volumes; those of the two college- 
societies, about 2,600. No increase reported.

said to be constantly receiving valuable additions. 

NEW PRESIDENT. 

At the meeting of the trustees on commencement-day, Eev. H.A.Nel- 
son, LL. D., of the Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati, was elected 
president of the college. The latest report, however, is that Dr. N. 
declines the presidency.

for such graduates as may be willing to devote two years to study as 
candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

PLEASING PECULIARITY. 

Eacine is particularly notable for the good order and fine taste which, 
prevail throughout the college grounds and buildings, and the College 
Mercury says, with a just pride: "Few who during the past week 
spent a long enough time at the college to notice the beauty of its 
grounds but were struck with the order in which — though in the midst 
of more than 200 young men and boys — the lawns and gardens have 
been constantly preserved. The walks were neat and well kept, the 
grass fresh and green, the flowers and plants which line the walks as 
vigorous and beautiful as those which enjoy the seclusion of a green- 
house. In fact, the grounds were never more handsome, nor could 
have been, under the most scrupulous care of a private owner. It 
would be impossible to estimate how much of the enjoyment of com- 
mencement is due to this order which pervades the place. It is not 
only in the care of the grounds that it is seen, but in other matters, of 
whose order and beauty the neatness of the lawns and gardens is but 
the index." 

DISCIPLINE. 

The perfection of discipline evinced in the order above noted is said 
to run through everything, the intercourse of students and professors 

390 



105 

being "based on that mutual affection and respect which marks the 
on-goings of a perfectly united household. A diligence in study-hours 
and an activity in play-hours, which leave no room for foolish mischief, 
are maintained not more by the authority of officers than by the hearty 
co-operation of the students with them, the issue being, in the mass of 
cases, a happy combination of fine scholarship with a robust physique 
and a fresh and manly spirit.

ated and received the degree of A. B. One of these, Gregory Michae- 
lian, a native of Turkey, who came here to study our institutions and 
obtain an education, would seem, from his graduating oration upon 
" True republicanism the demand of our age," to have become an en- 
thusiastic advocate of the principle that " all men are equal." Having

MINNESOTA 



UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, MINNEAPOLIS. 

Although twenty-two years have elapsed since this institution received 
its charter and six since it was first opened for students, it did not have 
a regular "commencement" till June 19 of the present year. The 
occasion excited, hence, great interest. The governor of the State, 
three ex-governors, numerous Congressmen, and other distinguished 
visitors honored the college with their presence. 

DEGREES. 

The graduates were 2* young men, respecting whose attainments high 
testimonials were given. Each received the degree of A. B. No 
honorary degrees are reported. 

NOTABLE WORDS. 

The Hon. A. S. Welch, in an oration delivered at the commencement, 
put in a strong plea for a thorough scientific as well as a thorough 
classic culture. Among other noteworthy things in his eloquent address, 
he said : 

" But let us set forth this new education in a strong light, and give to 
it, if we are able, a sharp outline. In the first place, as to its purpose. 
The old education seeks to elevate the professions ; the new education 
strives to help to give professions. The old education withdraws learn- 
ing to venerable walls, where she is surrounded by the ceremonies and 
sanctities of olden time. In the new education she emerges from mystic 
halls, puts on the white drapery of science, comes forth into the open 
air and the broad sunlight ; reveals to her loving pupils the secrets of 
nature ; teaches how lightning is utilized ; how ores are mined and re- 
duced; how rivers are bridged, and mountains tunneled; how plants 
grow ; how marshes are drained and worn-out soils fertilized ; teaches 
how fruits, and cereals, and domestic animals may be improved ; how 
every article of food and fabric can be produced with the least possible 
waste of muscle ; in short, takes the laborer by the hand — the laborer 
once crippled by ignorance — and lifts him up with the loving injunction, 
* I say unto thee, arise.' Such is the purpose of the new education, 
philanthropic, practical, helpful to all. 

"But there is another question respecting the new education equally 

* Two are reported in the various notices sent and. are referred to in a speech by the 
president ; yet an official report says three. 

395 



110 

vital in determining its value. ' What is its effect on character !* 
While it gives to students a special preparation for their allotted work, 
does it make men — men quick in expedients, ready in emergencies, 
trained to affairs, deserving of public trusts; men of weight and influence 
and foresight — men that are not for sale ? If the new education, though 
it makes millions of experts, fails in a matter so important as this, the 
failure is surely a fatal one. But it does not fail. Its great underlying 
law is, that youth shall study what maturity shall practice, and this 
maxim covers not merely the handicrafts, but the whole area of human 
activities, intellectual, moral, and material. If the youth has decided to 
become an architect, for instance, does he need to be told that he will 
not thereby escape being a citizen as well ? And just as a knowledge 
of the various architectural orders and styles, a mastery of the princi- 
ples of descriptive geometry, and practice in architectural draughting are 
essential to the successful architect, so the mastery of mental and moral 
philosophy, of social science, of political economy and constitutional 
law is essential to becoming actively and passively a model citizen. 
And these are the studies which, when fully grasped and applied in 
practice, give a man weight, and influence, and foresight — studies which 
round him out into the proportion and symmetry of a genuine manhood. 
How can one better learn to be ready in emergencies than by studying 
the principles from which emergencies take their rise, and how can one 
be trained to affairs better than by a mastery of the laws that underlie 
affairs'? The old education, though conferring finished scholarship in 
special directions, seems never to have accepted these logical conclu- 
sions. It prescribes studies for the discipline they bring and affirms 
that their use is an incidental and a comparatively unimportant result. 
The new education prescribes studies for their actual uses and declares 
that discipline is an incidental but sure result. The old asserts that 
culture is gained from the particular matter studied ; the new replies 
that culture comes largely, not from the matter studied, but from the 
manner of studying it, and that earnestness of effort only will beget 
intellectual growth. The old education, to illustrate things mental by 
things material, would prepare the tyro for swimming by giving him a 
muscular drill out of water so perfect and well balanced that, if by ac- 
cident he fell into water, it might be expected he would swim anyhow- 
The new education puts the tyro into water, gives him all needed in- 
struction and helps, declaring that the best preparation for the art of 
swimming is found in the act of swimming, and that the act, if frequently 
and strenuously repeated, imparts muscular vigor also. 

" The learned professions and literary callings were long ago fully pro- 
vided for. I would not pluck one leaf from the laurels they have gained 
nor cut a single branch from their established courses. I would simply 
ask for the grand industrial sciences and the useful arts, which have so 
quickened the civilization of our era, co-ordinate opportunities and co- 
ordinate rank. While the learning which finds its home in our univer- 
396 



Ill 

sities lends effective utterance to the sublime truths of the pulpit and 
logical acumen to the labors of the bar, let it also help every industrial 
enterprise whose object it is to restore the earth to the beauty and the 
glory of its primeval paradise. Let it feed and clothe millions with more 
healthful food and warmer fabrics. Let it repeat everywhere the miracle 
of the loaves and fishes. Let it furnish the mechanic with better tools, 
better methods, and better machinery. Let it stimulate industry and 
cleave the wave of every sea with its traffic. Let it beautify the sur- 
rounding landscape, crown the hills with nobler dwellings, cover the 
fields with more nutritious grasses and finer herds, replace the wilder- 
ness with the waving harvest, bring every farm to the topmost limit of 
its producing capacity, and preside over every process by which the 
dead mold is changed into the marketable product." 

RESOLUTION OF REGENTS AND FACULTY. 

The board of regents, determined to aim at good quality rather than 
large quantity, in graduates, have passed a formal resolution declaring 
it to be their policy not to increase the attendance at the university at 
the expense of scholarship. The faculty also declare it to be their 
fixed purpose to stand firmly by this announcement and let no diploma 
be given forth which does not mean just what it says.

GRISWOLD COLLEGE, DAVENPORT.

there is no report from this college except of the conferring- of the fol- 
lowing degrees in course at the commencement on the last Wednesday

creased at the rate of $1,000 per month. 






MISSOURI 



UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI, COLUMBIA. 

This university, founded in 1839, suspended during the war, and 
revived in 1867, is in design like those of Michigan, Wisconsin, Indi- 
ana, and Minnesota, the culmination of State-efforts toward a general 
diffusion of knowledge and intelligence. Existing by the power of the 
State and for the whole body of its people, the aim is to discard from it 
all partisan politics and merely sectarian religion, having its officers, 
according to the words of a former president, " too patriotic to be par 
tisans and too good Christians to be sectarians." The organization em- 
braces (1) the college proper, with four courses, arts, science, letters, 
and philosophy ; (2) the normal-school, or college of instruction in 
teaching, opened September, 1868 j (3) the agricultural and mechanical 
college, September, 1870 ; (4) the school of mines, at Bolla, November, 
1871 : (5) the college of law, October, 1872 ; (6) the medical college, Feb- 
ruary, 1873 5 (7) the department of analytical and applied chemistry, 
May, 1873. A college of fine arts and a department of engineering are 
also contemplated, but delayed for want of funds. Females, as well as 
males, are admitted to all the classes in all the departments. At the 
commencement of 1872 one was admitted to the baccalaureate-grade in 
science, with the standing of third in her class ; and at that of 1873, 
another, with like high standing. 

Full reports of the last commencement have not reached the Bureau, 
but the published report of the curators gives a list of 19 who were to 
graduate in the baccalaureate-courses, 5 in the normal college, 5 in the 
school of agriculture, and 5 in that of law. The first are presumed to 
have received the degree of A. B. or Sc. B. ; the second that of Normal 
Graduate ; the third, of Agr. B.; and the fourth, of LL. B. 

HONORARY DEGREES. 

The honorary degrees conferred were — Ph. D. : Professor C. P. Will- 
iams, of the school of mines, Bolla, and Professor C. V. Riley, State- 
entomologist of Missouri — 2; Sc. M. : R. B. Price, Columbia, Jno. T. 
Heard, Sedalia, and G. C. Broadhead, State-geologist — 3 ; A. M.: Thomas 
L. Napton— 1; D. D.: Rev. J. D. Vencil, Columbia— 1; LL. D. : Edward,

at hand. The date of its incorporation and authorization to confer de- 
grees being so recent as 1872, the college has probably not yet graduated 
a class. 



GRAND RIVER COLLEGE, EDINBURGH. 

This institution is in its infancy, and had no graduates at its last com- 
mencement, although two graduated the previous year. Its privileges are

CALIFORNIA. 



CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, BERKELEY. 

Until this present season the efforts put forth for the establishment 
of what must he eventually the great university of the Pacific coast, 
resulted only in the laying of foundations for the two departments of 
letters and of science. On Tuesday evening, June 3, however, a med- 
ical department was added to these two by a formal union with the 
University of the San Erancisco College of Medicine, School of Phar- 
macy, and State Dental Association. The Medical College brings along 
with it buildings and other property valued at $70,000, which the re- 
gents receive into absolute possession, without any annexed conditions. 
A School of Law is also in the near prospect. The departments of let- 
ters and science have nine professors, five additional instructors, and 
one hundred and eighty-five scholars. At the commencement, held on 
Wednesday, July 16, a class of 12 graduated. 

DEGREES IN COURSE. 

In the department of letters, A. B., 5; in that of science, Ph. B., 7. 
No honorary degrees. 

NEW BUILDINGS. 

On a site, said to be of surpassing beauty, commanding a landscape 
varied with rolling hills and gentle slopes, the city and bay of San Fran- 
cisco in full view, and the Golden Gate and Coast-range mountains in 
the distance, the grounds of the university are being graded and laid 
out, and two buildings for its use have been erected. In the southern 
one, called the South College, or College of Science, are well -furnished 
laboratories for students in agriculture and chemistry ; and here also 
will be placed the collections of the State geological surveyors, with a 
valuable cabinet, and the library. In the other, the North College, or 
College of Letters, are lecture- and class-rooms, ranging in size from one 
that will hold five hundred persons to a recitation-room for twenty 
pupils. One of these buildings is massive and enduring, "proof, it is 
hoped, against the quakings of the earth and the inroads of time; the 
other, spacious, economical, and in a high degree convenient, but pos- 
sibly liable, at some future day, to yield its place to a more solid 
structure." 

LIBRARY. 

The library already numbers 11,000 volumes. A German-American 
citizen of San Francisco, Michael Riese, esq., has ennobled himself by 

411 



126 

presenting to the university the means for purchasing the valuable 
library of Dr. Francis Lieber, which had been offered it for $2,000. The 
same gentleman is said to be meditating the making of large purchases 
in Europe for the filling of the shelves. From B. L. Gould, esq., of San 
Francisco, there has also been received a generous gift of encyclopedias 
and other standard works. 



D. O. Mills, esq., has presented to the university for its museum, the 
Voy collection of objects of natural science, embracing nearly 8,000 
specimens, and costing $5,000 to the generous donor. 

BENEFACTIONS. 

From Edward Tompkins, esq., $50,000 worth of land for the founding 
of an Oriental professorship with a view to the training of young men 
for intelligent intercourse with Asia. From Dr. Toland, of San Fran- 
cisco, the medical-college property, valued at $70,000. From Michael 
Eiese and D. O. Mills, esqrs., the gifts above recorded of $2,000 and 
$5,000. From the Mechanics' Institute of San Francisco, a valual le 
collection of Japanese mineral and vegetable products, for the museum. 
From Mr. Henry Edwards, of San Francisco, a large collection of Aus- 
tralian plants. From EL J. Booth & Co. a five-stamp quartz-battery 
for the metallurgical department. From George M. Blake, esq., ten 
acres of land adjoining the university-site, valued at $10,000. From the 
students, on commencement-day, portraits of Presidents Durant and 
Gilman, and from Fred. Billings, esq., a fine portrait of Bishop Berkeley, 
in honor of whom the site of the university is named. This last is a 
copy, by Professor Weir, of the admired original in the school of arts 
at Yale. 

PROSPECTS. 

From these encouraging beginnings a bright prospect for the future 
of the university may well be augured. The address of its valedic- 
torian for the year, Nathan Newinark, of San Francisco, shows plainly 
that a high grade of training has been reached, and the spirit that 
breathes in those of Governor Booth and President Gilman on com- 
mencement-day gives promise that the slandard to be aimed at is a 
high one. The governor said, among other good things : 

" We do not want a university because other States have them and 
it is the State fashion. We do not desire it as an external evidence of 
our civilization, that we may bring distingnished visitors to it and make 
proclamation through the newspapers. We do not want it as an orna- 
ment — as a flashing jewel or glittering crown. It is for use, not show ; 
for every-day wear, not holiday attire. We want it to establish a higher 
standard of culture and morals. We want it not merely as a teacher 
412 



127 

and disseminator, but as a searcher after truth, an investigator, a dis- 
coverer. We want a university not for a class or for the professions, 
but for the people, in sympathy with their wants, instinct with their 
life, aglow with their spirit, marshaling them the way they ought to go, 
showing by leadership and example that the educated man is not a 
member of a caste — a drone, a pensioner, entitled as such to the easy 
chair and comfortable place to be fed, clothed, and admired — but that 
his guild is humanity. The more educated he is, the more humane he 
becomes, the more impact with manhood, and the higher his obligation 
to manly usefulness. His university-diploma is but a certificate ; his 
degree he must confer upon himself; his credentials must bear his own 
signature and seal." 

The president, in the same vein, spoke thus : 

" Our plans of education are disposed to include all that the past has 
handed down of good, all that the future may offer to us. By the study 
of language, philosophy, and history we inherit the rich experiences of 
humanity ; by the study of natural science we search after the laws of 
creation and reach out for the divine. Art, literature, and oratory, 
the fruits of culture, will here, I hope, forever dwell ; while geometry, 
chemistry, and physics, the basis of the useful arts, will likewise inspire 
their earnest votaries. Such is the position of the University of Cali- 
fornia, as it enters upon its home of Berkeley."

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, SALEM. 

On Thursday, June 26, a brilliant assembly is reported to have gath 
ered from all parts of Oregon to witness the graduation of a class of 14 
from this young and rising university. The graduates, 6 gentlemen and 
8 ladies, appear from the reports to have done credit to their train-

audience, by her excellent delivery, an enthusiasm of applause and 
admiration that is most unusual in college-exercises.
